Addictive Love

Chapter fifteen

When I got home, I ran to my dark room, crawled up into a ball, & cried my eyes out. How could Colton possibly do this to me?! I thought he was the one! I literally thought that we were meant to be. But I'm not so sure now. I just wish I had Becca.

I decided to try and call Becca. After about the third ring, I heard a quiet "Hello". I said "Hi Becca, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry and I really wish we could possibly still be friends"? She said "Avery I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have pretended to be with Colton". I said "Well we don't have to worry about him anymore". She surprisingly said "Wait why"? I then explained to her the whole story and how I saw him holding hands with Rachel.

There was a long silence after that. Then she said "I'm so sorry Avery, I knew he wasn't right for you". "He's a bad boy and yes he's really cute but you deserve so much more". I said "Thanks Becca, I'm really glad I have you"! Then I said sadly, "Well I have to go to gymnastics but I will see you tomorrow at school". We both said bye and then I hung up the phone.

On my way to gymnastics, I was listening to the radio and all the sudden the song, I Won't Give Up, came on. I starting crying and all I could think of was Colton. He was stuck in my head like glue. No matter what I'm doing I just couldn't stop thinking about him.

As I pulled into the parking lot, my phone started ringing. My heart dropped as I realized it was Colton. I decided to answer saying "Hello". He said "Hey Avery, happy birthday"! "I'm sorry I wasn't at school, I am really sick and I won't be able to hang out today".

I then said "Really Colton"?! "You are sick"?! "Because I saw you holding hands with Rachel today walking towards the movie theatre"?! Colton said nothing. Hopefully he just felt ashamed. Finally I said "Colton we are through". Then I hung up. All I could do was sit in my car and cry.
